About Florian

Technology alone is not enough. What's often missing is the ability to sell it.

I work with founders of DeepTech and Industry 4.0 startups and provide senior support to mid-sized companies, large corporations, and SMEs to solve a specific problem:moving from "good product" to "product that sells".

With an industrial background (IBM, Siemens, 14 years of experience in complex B2B sales cycles), I have structured multi-million euro sales pipelines, supported founding teams in their first go-to-market, and helped management regain control of their commercial development.

Clarify your market position
Identify the segment where you have the most to gain, formalize your ICP, build the ROI equation that your prospects immediately understand.

Accelerate your commercial development
Target and convert your first strategic clients, structure rigorous commercial monitoring, adapt your approach to the long cycles of mid-sized companies and large accounts.

Align Product and Field Reality
Sort your roadmap according to real purchasing drivers, avoid developing what the market does not value.

What it looks like in practice
€2M pipeline generated in 8 months in a virgin territory. x6 growth in a commercial scope in 18 months. Founders and directors who arrive at client meetings with a convincing – not just impressive – pitch.

Who I work with
Early-stage startups (pre-seed to Series A), industrial spin-offs, as well as sales, marketing, or innovation departments of mid-sized companies and large corporations that need experienced support to accelerate or restructure.
